About this map

Hamilton serves as the focal point for this Bitterroot Valley survey, showing the city's residential and industrial grid extending south toward the Ravalli County Airport. The landscape transition is defined by the Bitterroot River, which meanders between the established streets of the town and the rising slopes of the Bitterroot National Forest to the west. This area displays a complex network of irrigation and mountain drainage, with Roaring Lion Creek and Sawtooth Creek flowing from the western peaks toward the valley floor.

Suburban and rural developments like Leisure Village, Grantsdale, and Charlas Heights illustrate the residential expansion beyond the main city center. Genealogists may find interest in the Grantsdale Cemetery located near the intersection of Grantsdale Cemetery Road and Sleeping Child Creek. The map also details the rugged canyons of the forest, including Coyote Coulee and McKinney Gulch, providing a clear view of the interface between wilderness and mountain valley habitation.
